TnE State election in Rhode Island
takes place to-day, Governor Wctmore
being the Republican candidate for re.
election, and John w. Davis heading
the Democratic ticket. The detection
of the Providence Journal inspires the
Democrats with some hope Of success,
but the chances are largely against
them.
1T Is remarked that there are twelve
colleges in Pennsylvania which admit
both sexes 10 equal standing. 1t might
also be remarked that twelve "col.
legos" in one State are at least ten
more than there ought to be for either
sex.

GENERAL AND CnIrICuLAR.

OF all the modest newspaper men at the
"Capital City OF this great and glorious Re-
public of ours" Mcfarland of the Phlladel
phia Record probably is entitled to the cake,
and Of him the following little story Is told:
On one occasion he was going to a country
town In an open stage, the driver of which
was q garrulous old fellow, and the other
passengers two old maids and little girl,
Mac being on the seat with the driver. One
OF the ladies was an ail' c'ed, over nice kind
OF female, who liked TO talk, and she kept
the driver busy. She was dildLing upon the
advantages Of city lie:
"Aud then besides all this she sail,
"things are so much cheaper In the city"
"Yesm," replied the driver.
"Why, only yesterday, cav hose sold In
store for twenty ceuts, that would cost
fifty In the country"
This was poser, aud 1t was followed hy
a period OF silence, broken by the little gir
who remarked:
"Say, auptie, what IS hose?h
"sh-sh," said the aunt, shaking her, and
the child became silent for a minute, and
the aunt began to talk again.
"Auntie,n interrupted the child, "what ls
hoseYn
"Keep still, Fannie,n said the aunt, with
an angry blush.
But the child wouldn't keep still, and
very shortly broke In again:
"Say, auntie, what is hosef"
This was too much, and with snap the
aunt put her foot in 1t.
"Well, II you must know she answered,
"hose 10 stockings; but hoped that would
not be compelled to mention the word be-
fore that nice young man on the front
seat.n
1t is needless to say that Mac fell out of
the stage, and was not restored to conscious
ness for upwards Of some time.

4 Terrible Railroad Disaster.

All the horrors in the history of
this country were surpassed three
miles east of Chatsworth. H., on the
night of August 10, when an excur-
sion train on the Toledo, Peoria and
Western railroad dropped through a
burning bridge and over 100 people
were killed and four times that num-
Der were more or less badly injured.
The train was composed of six sleeping
cars, six day coaches and chair cars
and three baggage cars. 1t was car
rying $50 passengers, all excursion
lists, and was bound for Niagara Falls.
At five minutes past midnight the
train went through the bridge. First
came the engine and three baggage
cars, then the six day coaches. They
were telescoped as cars never were
before and three of them were pressed
into just space enough for one. The
second car had mounted off its trucks
and crashed the car ahead of it, crush
ing the woodwork aside like finder
and lay there resting on the top of the
seats, while every passenger in the
front car was lying dead or dying I'M
derneath. Out of that car but four
people came alive. On top of the
second car lay the third, and the bot
tom was smeared with the blood of
its victims. The other three cars
were not so badly crushed, but they
were broken and twisted in every con-
ceivable way. Immediately after the
wreck a band of miscreants began
plundering the dead. The horrible
suspicion exists, and there are many
who give it credence, that the accident
was q deliberately planned case of
train wrecking; that the bridge was
set on fire by miscreants who hoped
to seize the opportunity offered, and
the fact that the bridge was so far
consumed at the time the train came
along, and the added fact that the
train was an hour and half late, are
pointed out as evidence of careful
conspiracy. These fiends in human
form went into the cars when the fire
was burning fiercely underneath, and
when the poor wretches who were
pinned there begged them, for Gods
sake, to help them out, stripped them
of their watches and jewelry and
serched their pockets for money.
When the dead bodies were laid out
in the cornfields these hyenas turned
them over in their search for valua-
bles, and that the plundering was
done by an organized gang was proved
by the finding in the cornfeld Of six
teen purses, all empty, in one heap.
The railroad authorities admit that
there are 81 dead and Is more in
critical condition, but the general
opinion is that that the casualties far
exceed this. The names of 81 more
who were seriously injured have been
thus far.
